Origin

Born Henry Jones Jr. on July 1, 1899 to globe-trotting Scottish professor of medieval literature Henry Jones Sr. and Anna Lauren Jones in Princeton, NJ. He had a sister, Susie that died at an early age. When Indy first learned to walk he showed it by finding his way up to the roof of his house. In 1905 Indy would name himself after the beloved family malamute, Indiana. His father though would still refer to him Junior well into his adult life much to the chagrin of Indy. As a child young Henry enjoyed playing with Indiana, playing baseball with his friends, and conduct science experiments instead of going to school.

Indiana spent 1908 traveling with his father as the elder gave a world wide lecture tour, and young Henry encountered many great figures of the early 20th century including, T.E. Lawrence, Howard Carter and Leo Tolstoy. His father would fine success in his books in 1908 from then to 1910 Indy and his mother would his father around the globe while he was giving lectures so young "junior" would not lose out on his studies. His father hired an old friend of his, Helen Margaret Seymour to tutor Indy. At first she declined the offer believing Indy was too young and also Indy did not wish to see any more of her. She later change her opinion and joined the family on their travels. She made Indy study for nine days before he would go on his first adventure.

They crossed the Mediterranean and landed in Alexandria, Egypt where Henry would begin his lectures. While his father was at the University giving a lecture Indy and Miss Seymour went toe the Great Pyramids at Giza but had not paid their guide enough and he stole their camels while they were busy climbing one of the structures. As they stood there alone and unsure what to do in that situation a figure appeared riding on a bicycle.

The figure was an old acquaintance of hers, T.E. Lawrence. Indy quickly took a liking to Lawrence as his stories of intrigued him and inspired him to become and archaeologist. They camped out for the night using Lawrence's supplies and the next day he took them to the Valley of Kings to meet a few frineds of his, Rasheed Sallam and Howard Carter, the man who would go on to discover the lost tomb of King Tut in 1922. After Henry Sr. finished his lectures in egypt they family began on their next leg of their trip, Morocco.

In Mexico in 1916 Indy would be captured by a group of Mexican revolutionaries led by Pancho Villa. Indy would later be rescued by Remy Baudouin, a Belgian Cook who was serving under Pancho Villa at the time. Later that same year Indy would join Remy in the Belgian Army and they would serve on the Western Front In World War I. Throughout his life Indiana Jones would meet many important figures that would shape his outlook on life, including Winston Churchill, Leo Tolstoy,T.E. Lawrence, Pancho Villa, and Howard Carter, but the most influential of them all was Abner Ravenwood whom he studied under at the University of Chicago.

After World War I Indy would study at the University of Chicago for Archaeology under Professor Abner Ravenwood, the two would become great friends though their friendship was cut short in 1925 when Abner discovered Indy was dating his daughter Marion. After graduating Indy became a professor of Archaeology in London where he would meet Deirdre Campbell, soon after they met the two began dating and their relationship led to their marriage in 1926, thought it was unfortunately was short lasting due to her death in a plane crash.

Major Story Arcs

Raiders of The Lost Ark

In 1936 began a search for a few Golden Idols belonging to a tribe in Peru. Soon after a few started to appear at an antiquity market, the evidence pointed to a fellow archaeologist at Princeton University-Dr. Forrestal who had gone missing while looking for the idols six years earlier. recently Indy acquired part of a map that detailed the route to the temple. Indy traveled to Peru and got in touch with several of his contacts in Peru. The other part of the map was in the hands of Satipo and Barranca, Indy knew not to trust them but they were only two who knew the area well enough. Indy knew he couldn't trust but had to make a deal with them as he needed the other piece of the map.

As they got closer to the temple Barranca made an attempt to kill Indy. Jones heard the pistol cock and disarmed him by whipping the revolver out his hands. Barranca fled and Indy was now stuck Satipo who was just as untrustworthy. They entered the temple and realized The builders designed the temple so that anyone who entered would never leave. As they went in they found the entrance riddled with tarantulas and they discovered how Forrestal met his end, he was impaled by spikes in the wall.

After navigating through the rest of the traps Indy arrived into the Idol room and knowing that the disk upon which the Idol laid was pressure sensitive so once Indy took the idol he had to place something on the pedestal that was exactly equal the weight. Indy placed a bag of sand on the pedestal and right after the pedestal sank to the ground and the temple started to fall apart. Indy ran and avoided poison darts as he was trying to escape the temple.

Reaching a small chasm he handed stipo the whip to swing over and in return Satipo asked for the idol and then he would give Indy the whip. Indy threw the idol but satipo left the whip on the ground and Indy had to jump across instead, he barely made it, grabbed his whip, and made under the stone door that was coming down.

Once he got out he found Satipo dead, impaled on the very same traps that killed Dr. Forrestal years earlier along withe the idol on his hands. Seconds after a huge boulder came down and Indy was forced to attempt to outrun it, which he did and when he made it outside he ran into none other than Rene Belloq himself, Indy's rival who always managed to catch up to Indy and steal his treasure on his adventures. Indy attempted to draw but the native Hovito warriors drew their bows and spears, Indy handed his pistol and Idol over to belloq. He turned and showed the idol to the warriors and they got down on their knees, seeing an opportunity to escape Jones ran. The Hovitos followed but Indy amde to the seaplane of his friend Jock Lindsey and escaped.

Returning to Marshall College for a lecture, Indy informed Marucs Brody that he almost had the Idol but Belloq got it. Brody informed him that two men, a Mr. Eaton and a Mr. Musgrove from Army Intelligence were asking for him and were waiting for him. As soon as class ended Indy and Marcus approached the two men. They informed them that recently the US Military had intercepted cables from sent from Cairo to Berlin.

The message stated that there was a dig going on at Tanis and that they were looking for a Headpiece to the Staff of Ra. The message also mentioned an Abner Ravenwood, Indy's old mentor. Eaton and Musgrove asked Indy if he could make sense of the message. Indy explained that Professor ravenwood was an expert on the legend of The Lost Ark of the Covenant, he explained that the Ark was a golden chest that Moses used to carry the Ten Commandments down from Mount Sinai. he explained that the headpiece had to be placed on a staff in a certain spot in a map room at Tanis and that it would pinpoint the exact location of The Well of Souls where the ark rested.

Eaton and Musgrove explained that he had been placed on assignment by the secret service to locate and retrieve the ark before Hitler and Germany did. By using Professor Ravenwood's journal Indy found that in one of the last entries Abner speculated that Nepal contained clues to The Ark. Indy traveled to Nepal and met up with a friend, Lin-su who informed that Ravenwood was last seen in a region around Patan. He loaned Jones his car and Indy arrived at a tavern Abner bought years earlier. Expecting to find Abner he went in and found Marion, his daughter and Indy's old flame. Marion appeared to be both pleased and disturbed by his return. Indy asked for Abner but Marion explained her father had been dead for years.

Indy apologized and asked her about artifact he believed Abner had in his possession. He paid her 5000 dollars, enough for her to move back to the US to give him the medallion. Marion told him to come back the next day for it and she would have it for him then. shortly after he left another man came in, this time with a few others. His name was Toht, a gestapo agent who was also interested in the medallion. He offered to pay more than Dr. Jones but she told that she didn't have it anymore, he didn't believe it and tired to torture the information out of her.

Indy came back in and whipped the fireplace poker out of his hand, causing it to fall next to a curtain and starting a fire. Indy and Marion killed the Thugs but Toht escaped with the marks of the medallion burnt onto his hand because he tried to grab it out a fire. Because he burnt down her tavern she forced him to take her along on his journey and gave him the medallion.

The two traveled to Cairo and from there met up with Sallah, an Egyptian excavator and a close friend of Indy's. There he informed that the Nazis had already begun their excavation of Tanis but that they do not know that Indy and Marion are in the country. While they were on the streets they were ambushed, Marion was captured, and Indy had to pursue her kidnappers throughout the city. He saw the Nazis place a basket in a truck, he fired at the truck not knowing that it was full of explosives.

The truck blew up and Indy in despair over her death he wandered to a local bar. There he confronted his old rival, Belloq and attempted to draw his gun and shoot Belloq but all the men in the bar were weapons and at the last minute sallah's children came to rescue him. he was quickly hurried out of the bar and the rest of the men laughed at him because he was a grown man being rescued by children.

He later went with Sallah to the local Imam to translate the inscriptions on the medallion. They realized that the Nazis only had one side of the headpiece and realized that they lacked the back side which detailed the height of the staff. The Nazis only had the front side and therefore did not know that the back side that the staff needed to be one kadam shorter than what the front side said.

The Ikons of Ikammanen

During that same year Indy was approached by a former student, Charlie Dunne who came to him asking for his assistance in an expedition with his sister Edith Dunne to find the Ikons of Ikammanen, statues made of solid gold that are able to become living creatures. Moments after, Charlie was murdered and Indy decided he would go with Edith to Central Africa where Charlie and Edith had supposedly discovered the location of The Ikons of Ikammanen. When he had arrived he was captured along with Edith by the natives guarding the sacred site. He soon escaped but was pursued by the Nazi's who had secretly been tailing him.

The Golden Fleece

Indy, circa 1941

Indy arrived at the Peloponnesian Peninsula in Greece as an advisor in 1941 on archaeological expedition. When he arrived he had found that Germany was attacking and so he canceled the expedition so as to not risk any lives. He however snuck away to find the treasure before the Nazis did. Indy entered the tomb of King Atreus to find an ancient knife that was older than Mycenae itself. Leaving the tomb Indy found himself in the middle of a Nazi camp, taking one soldier hostage.

The commander at the camp shot his live shield dead, forcing Indy to flee on a bicycle. He was saved by a young woman named Omphale Kiapos who hid him inside a barre containing Olive-oil. While looking for a way out of Greece Indy was attacked by a group of Turkish men who his knife. Omphale opened fire and them and as they left Indy overheard one of them mention the Golden Fleece. Indy and Omphale hijacked a plane from the camp and left Greece.

The plane was heavily damaged but Omphale was able to nurse it back to Istanbul where Indy consulted an antiquity dealer he knew, Daan van Rooijen of his on the Golden Fleece. It was confirmed that the Fleece was connected to the Greek god Hectate. He also learned the only way to reconsecrate the fleece was by using the knife from Atreus' tomb.

The fleece was believed to be located somewhere in Istanbul but the exact location was unknown.By using an old transcript of an auction from twenty years earlier Indy found the ram fleece was on the list and that it belonged to a Mehmed Sarper. Sarper still had the fleece as no one was ever interested in buying it.Indy and Daan found that the fleece was inside of the ram, intact. Daan had insisted on keeping it in his possession and drugged Omphale and Indy. After they woke up Indy discovered Daan, murdered by cult members who worshiped Hectate.

They traveled east to Colchis, on their way there they ran into a snowstorm and Omphale went into labor and gave birth to her baby son. At the same time the cult members awakened the protector of the fleece, a giant serpent. Indy lifted the baby into the sky with no explanation and begged Hectate to honor the child's innocence for it had done nothing wrong. Hectate then struck the cult members down and the serpent erupted into flames.

Kingdom of The Crystal Skull

In 1951 Indy's father, Henry Jones Sr. died, something that would cause Indy much grief over the next ten years.The following year one Indy's closest friends, Marcus Brody died. During sometime between 1952 and 1957 Indy left Barnett College and returned to teaching at Marshall College in Bedford, Connecticut. it was then that he met Charles Bradforth, the current dean of Students and Marcus Brody's successor. In 1957 while digging in the Yucatan Peninsula along with George "Mac" McHale they were captured by Soviet troops and brought to Hangar 51 in the Nevada test site, Nevada, USA.

They were pulled out from the back of a car and were confronted by the leader of the troops, Colonel Dr. Irina Spalko of Ukraine. They were brought in to the Hangar and Indy was ordered to find an object from a crash ten years earlier, the event she was referring to was the purported UFO crash in Roswell, New Mexico.

f Indy refused they were going to shoot Mac. Indy knew the contents of the container she was looking for were highly magnetic so he ordered a soldier to empty his gun. The soldier laughed and told his comrades in Russian what Indy said. he told Spalko and she ordered them to empty their guns. He threw the gunpowder in the air and it showed them the location of the remains. the soldiers opened the container and attempted to execute Jones but he escaped and along the way briefly saw the container containing the Ark of The covenant, which he had found over 20 years earlier.

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

“The name is Jones. Indiana Jones.”

He’s back. Everyone’s favorite globe-trotting, tomb-raiding, wisecracking archaeologist is finally at it again-hurtling headfirst into high adventure and relying on his wits, his fists, and his trusty bullwhip to get him out of deep trouble. But the man in the jaunty brown fedora and battered leather jacket is no ordinary digger in the dirt. From the fabled lost Ark of the Covenant to the legendary Holy Grail, he’s salvaged the world’s most amazing artifacts, while beating the baddest villains and defying the most breathtaking odds.

Now it’s 1957, the atomic age is in full swing, and McCarthy-era paranoia has the nation on edge. But for Indiana Jones, the Cold War really heats up when his latest expedition is crashed by a ruthless squad of Russian soldiers. Commanded by a sword-wielding colonel who’s as sinister as she is stunning, the menacing Reds drag an unwilling Indy along as they brazenly invade American soil, massacre U.S. soldiers, and plunder a top-secret government warehouse. Their objective: a relic even more precious–and powerful–than the mythic Ark, capable of unlocking secrets beyond human comprehension.

Fast thinking and some high-speed maneuvers help Jones turn the tables, and a one-in-a-million escape narrowly saves him from certain death. But when he’s tarred as a suspected spy and fired by his university, Indy thinks it may be time to hang up his hat.

Fate, however, has other plans. Suddenly the road to retirement takes a sharp detour when a colleague’s kidnapping leads Jones into the depths of the Amazon jungle on a desperate rescue mission. With a hot-headed teenage biker as his unlikely wing man and his vengeful new Russian nemesis waiting for a rematch, Indy’s back in the game–playing for a prize all the wonders of the world could never rival.
